President Rodrigo Duterte is set to meet with His Majesty King Abdullah II and the FIlipino community in Jordan in September, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said.
The meeting is a part of Duterte’s official visit to Jordan from September 5 to 8, 2018.
“The official visit of the President reaffirms and renews the Philippines’ ties with Jordan. The President will hold talks with King Abdullah II on broadening cooperation in key areas to advance shared aspirations for greater peace, progress and prosperity,” DFA said in a statement.
The meeting between Duterte and King Abdulah II will also cover other sectors concerning both the Philippines and Jordan.
